Video: Alonso drives LaFerrari

F1 Driver Fernando Alonso takes the 963hp Ferrari LaFerrari for a spin around Maranello





Before heading for Budapest and the Hungarian Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso had the opportunity to assess for himself the very latest phase of development of the quickest car ever produced in Maranello for everyday road use, not just exclusively on track; the LaFerrari.

Today, we present a video made at the time: judging from his efforts, Fernando enjoyed every one of the 963 horsepower on offer from the combination of the V12 engine (800) and the electric motor (163) which powers the first hybrid car to come through the gates on Via Abetone Inferiore. Along with his team-mate Felipe Massa, the Spaniard was involved right from the start in the project and even on this occasion he contributed valuable insights to the team of engineers and test drivers involved in bringing to life and developing this extraordinary car.

Video Interview: Fernando Alonso Drives a Ferrari F12 at Nordschleife

This unique interview with Fernando Alonso, for the German TV channel RTL, filmed in an even more unique studio... a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, drived by Alonso around Nurburgring Nordschleife!


Doing interviews is probably not a driver's favourite pastime, but when it involves grabbing a steering wheel and putting the pedal to the metal to unleash the sort of power which is almost on a par with that of a Formula 1 car, then this actually becomes a pleasure, even if it involves twenty minutes being filmed by German TV
